Krigia dichotoma, Nutt. 
From ten to twelve inches high, very much branched from 
the root. Flowers yellow, and of the same size as in No. 1. 
After close attention to this plant, I believe it to be no more 
than a variety of the preceding, having found a few speci- 
mens this season, (1818,) approximating towards the dififuse 
caulescent variety above. I have found tliis variety in the 
sandy fields of Jersey, opposite Southwark, and in Maryland 
on the road to Baltimore. Annual. July, August.

sions, nearly naked ; leaves glabrous, radical
